Better Days
Baker Boy & Dallas Woods feat. Sampa The Great (Released: 23/9/2020)
(DALLAS WOODS)
Ain’t no fairy tale when you live in hell
Trust me, that’s a story I know very well
Bad weather, no umbrella, it gets better
Seen it with my own eyes, uh
Money and job, you aint got one
How you gonna raise my godson
Adoption, I know that's not an option
Your baby mumma watching other girls and their husbands
They whip cribs and kids that’s how a family functions
We face obstacles, that's not cool
But you got to choose what's best for you
I see you (Hey Ya)
Tryna better yourself, tryna better your health (Hey Ya)
I see you getting closer every day
(SAMPA THE GREAT)
Tacashupa understand
Ninkwata masterplan
Ndineka ukuluba tryna find another hand.
I’m pushing through the storm,
Being better than I Am
When I make a bigger stride
Always Tryna push me down
Mahn
I’m bigger than the image and the fans
Vision is precision
I can see right through the brands
See right through the smoke
Life is not a joke
When I finally dropped my mask,
My mirror - it almost broke.
(SAMPA THE GREAT AND DALLAS WOODS)
PRE-CHORUS
I was told the storm would go away
Darkest times I pray for better days
Hey Ya Hey Ya
(SAMPA THE GREAT)
CHORUS
Live it up
Live it up
Til sunrise
We standing strong through dark times
That’s who we are
Hey baby
We never gonna stop the rain
(BAKER BOY)
Stressful yeah you know the drill
Getting told you got shoes to fill
Lately don’t know how to feel
Don’t know what’s fake or real
So I get my mental straight
Write my problems til the pencil breaks
Therapeutic
If it puts me in a better place I gotta do it
Instead of losing myself I found music
Real Talk
I’ve been down and out and I’m back now
You can’t count me out I never back down
That goes to anybody with problems
Get help and maybe we can solve them
Nhaku nhe li djälthirr wiripuw lifestyle-gu?
Why do you want a different lifestyle?
Nhe dhu malthun nhuŋu dream job-gu
You just follow your dream job
Märr ga ŋarra dhu nhäma djamarrkuḻiny’
So that I can see the kids
Walal dhu malthun nhuŋu courage-gu
Step up to courage (like you)
(or they’ll take after your courage)
Gotta keep pushing through
Never stop
It’s like every time I see the rain drop
Life falling down in the same spot
If you’re looking for love it’s what I’ve got
Got enough to go around giving ga
(SAMPA THE GREAT)
You say you got a lot of love
I could you use a ton
And we can go together we can be as one
(BAKER BOY)
And I can tag along
Djäma nhumalaŋgal bond
Create a bond with you
(or making bonds with yous)
Yaka have to worry you won’t be alone
Don’t have to worry, you won’t be alone
(DALLAS WOODS)
I guess I’m coming too
Cause if you’re preaching love an unity
I’m coming through
And is that cool with you?
(SAMPA THE GREAT)
Mahn I got no issue
Just know that I’m with you
(BAKER BOY)
I’m with you
(DALLAS WOODS)
I’m with you
(ALL)
We with you
(SAMPA THE GREAT)
